They say that II 10 unaccountsble that

10 those who believe in murder and
think nothing Of taking human life;
thM 1t is an invitation to the saw
sgery of murder and that unless 1t
is stopped 1t will become general
habit sgain to carry pistols. With
the memory before us OF what Horri-
gan did, and Greer after him, to pun
ish crime and make criminals odious,
this state Of feeling Is anything but re-
assuring. 1t is the failure to enforce
the criminal Law that invites lynching
and justihes lynchsre, II ever they can
be justified, even TO themselvss. The
APPEAL, which has alwsys bsen for
law and order, aud always will be, de-
plores this state Of things, and appeals
to the criminal authorities, for the
sake Of the peace Of the city and the
baiety OF its citizsns, as well as on 40

which are at stake. The iasu.

biBy mistake in the Walker CASE. The
second was the summoning OF jury
without going through the usual pro-
cess of law, and sunmoniDg it from
Dmong the friends and nsighbors OF
tine men charged with murder. This
looks bad, and is bad. These irresu.
lE,ities are calculated TO strengthen tha
increasing prejudices Of the people
and their growing l,ar that

OBITUARY.
BeIa N. Chamberlain.

The death of Mr.. b. y. Chamberlain.
which occurred about l. O'Clock Yesterday
morning, removes one of Brattebnro's old
est and best known merchants, Mr. Cham
berlain was IA native Of Newport, y. H..
where he was born June II, 1928 Serv-
ing an apprenticeship in the hat factory of
Amos Little he afterward became part
ner IN the business there; but in 1883 he
removed to Peterboro, where he run & hat
store there, making in part his own stock
In 1884 Henry Pond of Keene. who had
hat stores in half-a-dozen different places
IN New England, induced Mr. Chamberlain
To come mere as IA partner in his Brattle-
horo store which had been opened a few
months before. About the time of the
breaking out of the war in 1861 Mr. Cham
berlain bought his partners interest and
soon atterward took his clerk Fred Franks
INTO the concern. MIR. Franks retired from
the firm about 1865, since which time Mr.
Chamberlain has remained alone assisted
by his son, Herbert b. Chamberlain, who
succeeds to the business.
Mr.. Chamberlain has for many wears
been prominent member of the Baptist
society and was long trustee and auditor
OF the Vermont savings bank. and though
usually avoiding public Office he at various
Times served the community in the capacity
Of town lister, village bailiff, etc. As a
man he was held in general respect, and
his genial presence will he greatly missed
upon the street and in social gatherings.
About the first of last December Mr.
Chamberlain suffered paralytic shock
from which, after a long confinement, he
only partially recovered. He had been
unusually feeble for a fortnight and Mon
day afternoon was seized with an attack of
an apoplectic nature from which he failed
to rally up to the final hour.
BESIDES his wife and son he leaves three
sisters aud brother, the latter a resident
of Dunkirk, Ohio.
The funeral will be held Sunday after
noon at three o'clock.

board Of hailffs'
This resolution stirred up hornets nest,
and was bitterly opposed by stockhold-
ers OF our village gas company and their
particular friends and followers IL was
however, adopted by a vote Of at least
three 30 one.
That the electric light, for street illumin-

ance with the vote Of the village, the bal
lifts had voted 30 erect and maintain four
electric lights upon Main street that
contract for the same had been closed and
that the electric light would probably be in
operation here about the first Of June
What is the trouble I 1t is now the mid
die Of July and we have no electric lights.

little foundation in fact for current rumor
upon the street, that Messrs. Herrick and
Boyden are obstructioni.ts in this matter.

conclusion that towns and villages are not

the people. The village meeting was

bad, Of the Hawaiian monarch. will be Of
the greatest ultimate benefit to the islands.
That no blood was shed in the movement is
due TO the thorough aud complete methods
Of the revolutionists and their determined
stand The mass-meeting which adopted
what amounted to Hawaiian declaration
of independence was ready for any emer-
gency, no matter how serious 1t was made
up Of the best element Of all classes, native
and foreign, all fully armed. The senti-
ment was so strong and unanimous for a
change in the government that the king
was virtually left without sufficient adhe-
rents TO make even show of opposition.
The reason for keeping the king as the
ostensble ruler Of the islands is apparent.
The incapable old boozer represents the au-
thority Of the nation, and makes a conven-
lent figure head for the new government.
What would otherwise be rebellion is now
treated as a simple change of ministry, and
the day is postponed when the government
shall pass into the control of some Of the
strong maritime powers which covot the
possession Of the islands on account Of their
Importance as a naval rendezvous. 1t is
of the greatest Importance to the United
States that no European nation shall gain
this strong foothold in the mid-Pacifc. Our
long coast line and our natural trading adj
vantages make it proper that we should in
sist on maintaining either an independent
government for Hawaii or a preponderat-
ing influence in its affairs

regarding this loan is that orders have been

vermont Central in New nnmp.nire.

A special despatch from Concord, y. H..
to the Boston journal says Hon. Chester
Pike Of Cornish, chairman Of the railroad
committee, says that he has no idea when
it will be able to report upon the various
railway bills which have been presented
The examination Of witnesses will continue
several days longer, after which time will
he given for the closing arguments Next
Tuesday evening the committee will hear
ex-Gov. Smith Of Vermont in relation 70
the bill for charter for a railroad in which
the Central Vermont il interested. That
corporation wants rowing charter which
would allow it TO build "a railroad through
Sullivan county with a southern terminus
somewhere in Hillsbor1 or Cheshire counties
1t has been for long time supposed that if
the Central should ever build through that
section Of the state 1t would be done under
the provisions Of the Forest line charter
Now that the Boston and Maine has leased
the Boston and Lowell. the counsel for the
Central says that that corporation does not
want anything Of the Forest line charter.
What the Central does want l. a conuec-
ton with the Fitchburg road without being
obliged % 70 over the iron of the Sullivan
railroad, which Is now owned or controlled
by the Connecticut River Valley railroad
The people Of Claremont. and in fact Of
all that section Of the state. will be- very
likely 10 be opposed to this move Of the
Central. What the Sullivan county people
want Is the building of the Forest line To
connect with the Boston and Lowell system.
which would shorten the distance p miles
and the time about one hour from Chicago
VIA the Central and the Lowell 10 Boston.

The Presidents Mistake.


Alike from an official IA political and a
personal point of view, President Cleve-
lands refusal to visit st. Louis was a mis-
take.
The responsibility for preserving decorun
and sustaining respect for the presidential
Office during the encampment of the Grand
Army in that city did not rest upon Mr..
Cleveland. He was invited on the strength
Of memorial such as was never before AL
dressed To public official in this country,
to become the guest of the people of st.
Louis upon an occasion Of great and gen
eral interest, Of which the meeting Of the
Union veterans was but "A delightful fea-
ture The President need not have gone
near the Grand Army meetings. And if
members OF that organization had SO far
forgotten the pruprieties Of the occasion as
to insult the chief guest of the city whose
Inequalities they were sharing the respon.
slblllty and the shame would have been
theirs. Such an act, If not repudiated by
the order, would have brought odum upon
the Grand Army, and by an inevitable re
action secured for the President needed re-
spect and support.
Mr.. Cleveland should have adhered to his
purpose of accepting the hattering invita-
ton of the people of St Louis. He should
have done it To honor that invitation, To
show his confidence in the maulmess Of the
Union veterans and to demonstrate his own
official and personal courage.
1t was not Grover Cleveland who was in
vited Ia st. Louis 10y an army Of hospitable
citizens, but the President of the United
States. As President hs would have been
protected fro IL insult. Mr., Cleveland does
not seem 10 understand the spirit of the
American people.

away until death came TO her relief. The
